Grilled Bruschetta Chicken

So many delicious things happening here, I can hardly contain my excitement about this super awesome grilled chicken dish. If we are talking juicy, savory grilled chicken under a layer of hot, melty mozzarella cheese, topping with fresh tomato and basil salsa….. I’m in heaven.

I could curl up with a good book and a plate of this chicken and be a happy gal for the rest of my days.

We moved into this home mid-Fall last year and I was over the moon to find that the previous owners had planted a small (and very manageable) garden on the far side of our yard. It’s the perfect size – for someone like me who lacks both time and a green thumb – and is divided into three rectangular plantar boxes.

Before temperatures plummeted for the Winter, the tomato vines were still producing loads of tiny adorable red and golden tomatoes and I was popping them like candy. My husband would never eat a tomato alone, so I had the lot of them to myself and I was not one bit sad about that.

I really, really heart fresh tomatoes.

Tomatoes are the star of this grilled bruschetta chicken recipe. Paired with some fresh lemon juice, chopped basil, and salt and pepper, they turn a simple chicken dish into a whole other super tasty experience.

This recipe is incredibly simple – and sometimes less is more if you ask me! Just toss your chicken with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, some dried herbs, and a hearty dose of garlic powder, and grill for about 15 minutes. Top each chicken breast with a thick slice of mozzarella cheese and watch as it gets all sorts of ooey gooey melty delicious right there on the grill.

Once your chicken is done, top it off with your tomato and basil mixture, along with a bit of fresh cracked black pepper, and you’re done my friends. You and your family are going to love how delicious and easy this recipe is!

Making Bruschetta is my favourite pastime when my small, and sporadically attended, kitchen garden produces tomatoes. It seems all I eat during the summer and autumn months is Bruschetta in one form or another. And on top of grilled chicken (that oozing mozzarella…. yum!) – this has to be tried!

Hi Tiffany, I am just finding your website and your recipes look amazing. I am wondering, since cooking in aluminum foil is getting a bad wrap, could packets be made with PARCHMENT paper with same outcome?

Hi Carol- welcome to Creme De La Crumb! If you don’t want to make the foil packets in straight foil and would rather use parchment paper, I recommend putting them in parchment paper and then foil around that to seal it. I don’t think you will be able to seal as well with just parchment paper.
